The Tutorial covers the Goals of the Policy and the Context of an Ethics
Framework (which you will find under the heading "Introducing the
TCPS); Section 1: Ethics Review; Section 2: Free and Informed Consent;
Section 3: Privacy and Confidentiality; Section 4: Conflict of Interest;
and Section 5: Inclusion in Research.

The Tutorial has a Glossary
that defines terms in the Tutorial and in the TCPS. Users are also encouraged
to consult the Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics' (PRE) Links
page that contains a bibliography and web sites for national and international
codes of ethics and other relevant Canadian documents and legislation.

The Tutorial takes approximately two hours to complete. It may take more
than two hours if you decide to follow all the links and read all four
case studies. You may take the entire Tutorial in one session, or you
may complete it in a number of sessions.
